While families are stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, children are likely to be experiencing something out of the norm. Having to stay inside, taking online classes, not meeting their friends, and avoiding playgrounds have changed their lifestyle and routine completely. This in-turn causes fear, anxiety, and restlessness in them.

While everyone is trying their best to navigate through the COVID crisis, it’s understandable that kids might get overwhelmed and scared with the entire phenomenon of lockdown. As much as parents are trying to reinstate a scheduled routine to engage their children, it is also important to focus on their mental health.

Recent changes to our day-to-day lives are leaving many parents with the monumental task of working and taking care of their children at home.

And although we’re starting to adjust, things don’t seem to be getting much easier. Parents are working hard to find a balance, but many are becoming more overwhelmed and starting to experience burnout.

We wanted to help you bring some normalcy to your new routine. So we reached out to our Prodigy team — employees, advocates and parents — for their advice on how to work from home with kids in the house.
